Take Me Out host Paddy McGuinness was seen arm-in-arm with Nicole Appleton during a night out on the weekend, prompting a string of emotional messages from his wife Christine.

It was later revealed that the former All Saints singer had "liked" 178 of Paddy’s Instagram pictures in ten months, with Nicole sharing her appreciation for several of his snaps including a topless picture, a shot of him working out, and multiple mirror selfies.

Yet now, according to The Sun, Nicole, 43, and Paddy, 44, both unfollowed each other on Instagram, and the presenter has also unfollowed the mother-of-one on Twitter.

Meanwhile, Paddy's wife Christine, 29, appeared to break down in tears in her vehicle on Monday morning.

In a video obtained by The Sun, the blonde beauty – who shares three children with Paddy – was seen wiping away what appeared to be tears from her eyes as she finished her shopping trip in Cheshire.

Heading back from her local shop on Monday, Christine looked downcast as she stepped out following the emergence of the pictures, wearing a pair of oversized sunglasses and an all-black ensemble as she got into her car.
